About this image

Let It All End. Finally got my game computer back today (after 2 weeks in the shop), but could I play FONV?Oh no. Tax Day in the US is Tuesday. So, all day today I have struggled, cursed, searched for irrelevant forms, and have generally gone insane working on my income tax return.

I didn't finish, but I'm drinking Chivas now, so the world seems a little more hospitable. Back at it again tomorrow. Eventually, I'll get back to the important things in life -- games and the Grip Series

      21% VAT here. Talk about a pain in the wallet.

    I feel your pain. But at least I can do it all on the internet now. And I just got about 1500$ back. Nice to have for the holiday If Chivas doesn't cut it I can recommend a bottle of ten years Talisker

    Thanks for the commiseration. At least I got my computer back and I've been writing tonight.

    Update: My checks are in the mail today. Feds and state. I always consider it a negotiation. I do my taxes and make them an offer. For the last 10+ years they have always flagged my return and "edited" it with a counter offer. I usually pay and then dispute the interest and penalties. They charge 3% per month interest (36% per year). Hah, and then they have the nerve to stomp on the credit card companies when they charge a "whopping" 18% per year as usury.

    Oh, crud . . . thanks for the reminder, Cornell. Haven't done mine yet, but I'm sure feeling the pain you are going through, now that you reminded me they need to get done. Very emotive image, too.

    Because just having your money taken isn't enough suffering...
